April is when the slab math starts to matter again. Daytime temperatures climb enough that early AC users start running units, and that's often the first month a household crosses from one slab bracket into the next.

It works the same way regardless of which company bills you — MEPCO, LESCO, FESCO, IESCO, PESCO, GEPCO, HESCO, SEPCO, QESCO, TESCO, and HAZECO all run their duplicate-bill lookup through the same PITC-backed system. Type the 10 to 14 digit reference number printed on your last bill into the box on this page and your April statement opens for viewing, downloading, or printing.

No account, no login, no charge.

How the April billing cycle works

How the April billing cycle works

Meter readings for your April bill are usually taken in the second half of the March-to-April window, so the consumption you're billed for is roughly a month behind the calendar.

Reading schedules run by subdivision rather than nationwide, which is why one household's April bill can arrive on the 3rd while a neighbour's on a different feeder arrives on the 22nd.

The jump isn't uniform — Sindh and southern Punjab warm up first and see AC load return in early April, while northern districts stay mild well into the month. If your bill rose sharply, check whether you crossed a slab boundary (101, 201, 301, or 701 units) rather than assuming a billing error.

As a rule of thumb across the year: summer months (May through August) can double or triple a household's baseline consumption once AC use is factored in, winter months (November through February) push usage up through heaters and geysers, and spring and autumn (March-April, September-October) sit closest to the year's floor. Knowing where April falls in that pattern is the fastest way to tell whether a bill's size is expected or worth a closer look.

Four steps, under a minute: find the 10-14 digit reference number on any previous printed bill (top right corner, usually), come back to this page, enter it, pick your DISCO from the dropdown, and select "Check Bill." What loads is your official duplicate pulled straight from the PITC portal — April bill amount, units consumed, due date, arrears, and the full tax and surcharge breakdown, ready to print or save as a PDF from your browser.

April electricity tariff and slab rates

April electricity tariff and slab rates

NEPRA sets a progressive slab structure for domestic consumers, and it applies to your April bill exactly as it does year-round: the first 100 units (the protected category) carry the cheapest per-unit rate, and each bracket above it — 101-200, 201-300, 301-700, and 700+ — costs more per unit than the one before. Cross a slab boundary and the bracket you land in, not just the extra units, drives the increase.

Commercial, industrial, and agricultural connections run on separate schedules from residential. Because NEPRA revises these rates quarterly, the safest way to confirm which schedule applied to your April bill is the issue date printed on it, not the month name alone.

FPA and surcharges in your April bill

FPA and surcharges in your April bill

If your unit count stayed flat but the rupee amount didn't, the Fuel Price Adjustment is the usual explanation. It tracks the real cost of the fuel used to generate power that month, so it moves with global oil, gas, and LNG prices rather than with anything you did differently — and it can land as an extra charge or, occasionally, a credit.

Layered on top of FPA and the base energy charge are a handful of standing surcharges: Financing Cost (covers sector debt servicing), a flat TV fee for residential connections, General Sales Tax on total consumption, and Tariff Rationalization. Together these typically add 15 to 30 percent to the base energy charge, which is why the bill total often moves more than the unit count alone would suggest.

Once your April bill is on screen, paying it doesn't require the paper copy. JazzCash, Easypaisa, NayaPay, and SadaPay all take DISCO payments by reference number directly in-app.

So do the mobile banking apps of HBL, UBL, Allied Bank, Meezan Bank, and MCB, typically fee-free, and so do 1Link ATMs. If you'd rather hand over cash or a physical bill, authorized bank counters, Pakistan Post branches, and franchise outlets still accept them.

The one date that matters regardless of method: pay before the due date printed on the bill, or the Late Payment Surcharge — commonly 5 to 10 percent — gets added.

Tips to reduce your April electricity bill

If an AC is going back into daily use, this is the month it pays off to check the setting rather than the appliance: 24-26°C with a ceiling fan running alongside cools a room almost as fast as 18°C alone, for a fraction of the compressor runtime.

Beyond what's specific to April, the one change that helps in every season is net metering: a rooftop solar system offsets daytime consumption year-round and can export surplus units back to the grid during peak sun hours, which is worth looking into regardless of which month you're reading this on.

Common April bill issues and how to resolve them

Common April bill issues and how to resolve them

Bill isn't showing up yet — if it's been fewer than 24-48 hours since the expected issue date, PITC probably hasn't received it from the DISCO yet; try again the next day rather than assuming something's broken.

Amount looks too high — the first check is always the previous month's unit count, not the rupee total. A sudden jump usually traces to a faulty meter, an estimated (not actual) reading, or an appliance that got left running; a call to your DISCO subdivision office gets a meter check scheduled.

Reference number won't work — it has to be exactly 10 to 14 digits, no letters, no spaces. Older meters occasionally get reassigned a new reference number during system upgrades, in which case your local DISCO office can confirm the current one.

Due date already passed — a Late Payment Surcharge applies from that point on and keeps accruing, so pay as soon as you can rather than waiting; letting it run risks disconnection.

Arrears showing on the bill — these are unpaid balances carried forward from earlier cycles rather than a new charge. Clearing them stops them compounding and avoids disconnection action later.

April Bill Check - Frequently Asked Questions

How soon after the issue date does my April bill show up here?

Within 1-3 days on the PITC portal, once your DISCO has finalized it — it isn't instant, and there's no way to speed that part up from this side.

I don't have a reference number handy — can I still check?

Not through PITC's system, no. You'll need it from a previous printed bill, an SMS alert from your DISCO, or by calling your subdivision office.

Is what loads here the same as the original paper bill?

Yes — same line items, amount, due date, and taxes, pulled from the same record.

Why is my April bill higher than March's?

Almost always one of three things: a seasonal usage shift, an FPA adjustment, or crossing into a higher slab bracket.

Will a bank accept this duplicate for loan paperwork?

Many do, since it's the same official PITC record, but confirm with the specific bank first rather than assuming.

Does this site keep a copy of my bill or reference number?

No — the reference number is passed to PITC to render your bill in the browser, and nothing is stored on our end.

Comparing bills across the year is often the quickest way to spot whether a change is seasonal or something worth a closer look. Jump to any other month below, or use the home bill checker directly.

Each distribution company has its own landing page with office details, tariff notes, and a bill lookup specific to that DISCO.
